PS/ Is Trump *really* taking hydroxychloroquine? I've no idea. No one does. But he knows that *saying* he is taking it—whether he is or isn't—is of *great* value to the people behind the drug. And because those people are *his donors*, he knows that value can be passed on to him.

PS2/ Trump's statement today is evidence in a scandal. The president has *seen* the studies confirming that this is a *dangerous* drug for people with COVID-19 to take, and he's pushing it *anyway*.

And as I wrote earlier today—before I saw this statement—he has money at stake.

PS3/ Trump is killing people—and I say that advisedly and mindfully—and this statement today will kill people.

This drug is dangerous for COVID-19 patients according to studies Trump has seen; is being pushed by Trump's donors; and his statement today is an *ad* for it. Obscene.
